Semilattice in a sentence
Semilattice meaning
A partially ordered set that either has a join (a least upper bound) for any nonempty finite subset (a join-semilattice or upper semilattice) or has a meet (or greatest lower bound) for any nonempty finite subset (a meet-semilattice or lower semilattice). Equivalently, an underlying set which has a binary operation which is associative, commutative, and idempotent.

Example types with semilattice
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
As mentioned, becomes graded by this semilattice. (7 words)
Hence, considering complete lattices with complete semilattice morphisms boils down to considering Galois connections as morphisms. (16 words)
Given a homomorphism from an arbitrary semigroup to a semilattice, each inverse image is a (possibly empty) semigroup. (18 words)
On the other hand, some authors have no use for this distinction of morphisms (especially since the emerging concepts of "complete semilattice morphisms" can as well be specified in general terms). (31 words)
This concept is arguably the "most complete" notion of a meet-semilattice that is not yet a lattice (in fact, only the top element may be missing). (27 words)
As a consequence, some authors use the terms complete meet-semilattice or complete join-semilattice as another way to refer to complete lattices. (23 words)
